Explanation:
Seen from orbit a day after a
dramatic arrival
on the martian surface, the Perseverance landing site
is identified in
this high-resolution
view
from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
The orbiter's camera image also reveals the location
of the
Mars 2020 mission
descent stage, heat shield, and
parachute and back shell that delivered Perseverance
to the surface of Mars.
Each annotated inset box spans 200 meters (650 feet) across the floor of
Jezero Crater.
Perseverance is
located at the center of the pattern
created by rocket exhaust as the descent stage hovered and
lowered the rover to the surface.
Following the sky crane maneuver, the
descent stage
itself flew away to crash at a safe distance
from the rover, its final resting place
indicated by a dark V-shaped debris pattern.
Falling to the surface nearby after their separation in the landing
sequence,
heat shield,
parachute and back shell
locations are marked in the high-resolution image
from Mars orbit.
